For whopping cough

Take equal parts of Elecampane, Skunk Cabbage, Horehound, and Spignut, and boil till you extract the strength, then strain and boil down again to the consistence of tar, then add twice its weight of pure Honey, and out in warm oven till well baked, let the patient take half teaspoonful often through the day. This is sure.
 

For Croup

This is very fatal among children. The best remedy for it is, equal parts Blood Root, Lobelia, Garlic, Skunk Cabbage, Elecampane, Sage, and Thoroughwort or Seneca Snake Root, or if the whole cannot be had, Lobelia Tincture will do alone, or Lobelia and Mullen Roots in decoction; give as much as possible, as the stomach will immediately eject any of these articles in this disease.

Drink a strong tea of Sage, and Sweet Fern, and sleep on a bed made of the same until well, wash often in Saleratus and strong Cider or Vinegar.
